Best GT Schedule Makers

Registration Season

It’s that time of the semester when people’s hopes get raised by making awesome schedules for next semester, only to get hit with a registration error, a major restriction, and a hold on top of it all.
With just a few more weeks of school left, it usually helps to think about starting fresh with a new set of courses. Lucky for you there are some website that can make registration super easy:

I like the rating system! Anything that gets even one Paul Johnson can't be that bad.
